This year’s YouthFest stars live music by WA rapper AZZA, plus an epic line-up of fun worth breaking from TikTok for.

The annual youth festival kicks off on Friday, 11 April from 4pm at Briggs Park Oval, Byford.

The evening will be jam-packed with fun for young people aged 12 to 24 – like live street art, mini golf, air brush tatts and tasty food trucks.

Local youth providers will also be on-hand to share information and support opportunities.

Other good stuff includes:

• Live music from solo pop artist Erin Carroll.
• A set by a lucky local muso, selected by the SJ Shire Youth Team.
• Hair braiding, a scavenger hunt with prizes, and Game Vault Van.
• A live street art community youth project.
• Food trucks offering free meals.
• A chill-out space to relax and connect.

Shire President Rob Coales said YouthFest 2025 was an opportunity to celebrate young people in the Shire.

“This event is an opportunity for young people to come together in a safe and inclusive space, where they can celebrate and learn more about opportunities that can support them in our community,” President Coales said. “We are proud to work alongside the Department of Communities to bring this event to young people in SJ.”
